Awesome Customer Support
Great that you posted this and kudos to ZU. Though not exactly along the same lines, I had a component out of warranty and the good folks at Pass Labs repaired it gratis and paid return shipping to boot. I can also say that all of the guys at Atma... 
The Moody Blues - "Seventh Sojourn"
Glad to hear the MOFI is of good quality. But,of course, nothing could be worse than the original Derams. Simply tragic that a group with such a terrific early catalog were shacled with such third rate recording quality. 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
But if the the AQs were miswired, it shouldn't take an hour for the bass to go south. Yet I still don't think there is/was anything wrong with either the MF or the PSBs. 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
Mu guess is that if you were to hook up your old MF integrated you will have no further problems with your bass. I'm sure the miswiring was the culprit (or, at least, that the MF wasn't). At any rate, a happy ending, it seems. 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
I'm with you Seikosha. I very seriously doubt that Fish's audio gremlins have anything to do with the amp. 
Reviewing the Reviewers - and the decline of HiFi
Hi Loh,Just to be clear, I've read your post twice now. You contend (first), that the fact that reviewers consistently fail to bash any meaningful number of products that they write about could be the likely cause of the demise of the high end ind... 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
The dropout in sound as described seems to fall in line with what one would encounter if one phase of the signal/incoming power feed were to drop out somewhere along the line. Preamp volume control or ac outlet problem possibly? However, I cannot ... 
LAMM2.1 with Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Speakers
I don't think there's a bad choice in the lot but Jim Smith (everyone knows who Jim is by now, right?) would tell you to go with the Auroras. He's using Canterburys at this time.

Loss of bass & full spectrum sound
It has been suggested to me by Ralph Karsten that the problems you describe could be the result of RFI contamination of your environment. The only part of your story that gives me pause is that the problem seems to show up after warm up. I don't s... 
The most overlooked album
Who??? I don't be seein' me agreein'. Sorry. 
Why can you buy a car at dealer Invoice but audio
Ghasley...based on what I see here you must be referring to Mike Lavigne. 
Avantgarde Uno 2.0, 2.1
Guess what??? I tried the polarity reversal on my horns and it definitely was NOT the better solution for me. However, while futzing around behind the speaker I noticed that my subs were NOT hooked up in reverse polarity (an oversight, probably, f... 
Avantgarde Uno 2.0, 2.1
I would expect it would be the same on Duo 2.0 and 2.1. I remember when I first bought my Duo 2.1s that Jim Smith called me up shortly thereafter and told me to experiment with reversing the polarity on the SUBS because, according to AG, some may ... 
Review: Concert Fidelity DAC-040 DA converter
I wonder how much different this DAC is than the Zanden 5000 series. It seems that they share quite a bit of the same design philosophy and, basically, the same DAC chip, (although the Zanden's chip is supposedly the creme de la creme of the breed...
